1991 240 DH engine knocks when starting/driving cold 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Rhys on  Sat Dec 25 05:26 CST 2004 [RELATED]

A new set of pistons will fix it, but that will be very expensive. Figure $500.00 just for the pistons and rod bushings. In Canadian dollars I charge around $3500.00 for a complete rebuild. A good (known good) used engine is the cheapest route, but it will be a quest to find a good one. As I mentioned, if it is a crank problem you will know for sure in about 50 miles.
If the noise doesn't get worse over the next few weeks, ignore it and just drive the engine carefully and it should be no problem.
